Floyd was Chauvin's prisoner; that means he has a duty to sustain him while he is in Chauvin's care.<br /><br />The angle is that Chauvin's actions are irrelevant. Whether he was kneeling on Floyd's neck, or had left him shackled while he hit up the hot redhead 15' away, there is a case to be made for Chauvin not paying attention.<br /><br />Murder, though? No. Sorry.

When it gets rubbed into everyone's face that it isn't, that's the last straw. Most people with an IQ above room temperature have already concluded, rightly or wrongly, that the political process is rigged. For reasons good and bad, they don't really trust law enforcement. We know that the economic process is rigged.<br /><br />The courts are really the last piece of "civilization". such as it may be, that we're clinging to.

If/when it results in acquittal, then people who have been conditioned by months/years of press coverage (and here, pols at all levels, and even some LE officials, from both parties pretty much declared Chauvin guilty immediately after the fact) that the trial was rigged to acquit. <br /><br />Once you've been convicted without trial in the media, a fair trial is difficult to obtain, and the results are unlikely to be accepted.Jimmy the Sainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05427575709351162996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-75571305661788454352021-03-12T12:48:13.435-06:002021-03-12T12:48:13.435-06:00The trial is fixed.

He too needs political cover.<br /><br />The MN AG is a known Antifa asset.<br /><br />The fix is in <i>for an acquittal</i>. The prosecutors will sandbag this to make that happen, giving that political cover required both for the rioting to happen and--once the designated targets are taken out--for the Governor to crush his opposition in the name of putting down those riots.<br /><br />No, they won't pull any trickery after the fact to get Chauvin in prison; he's far more useful as a free man than in prison.<br /><br />And now I get to spend long nights listening to the scanner again to see where the riots are going.Bradford C.

You can see it on "Adam 12" about every other episode of it's 7 year long span. No deaths reported on the set...<br /><br />Truth in this case is dead. The public wants to tear Chauvin apart. And that's what too many right of Stalin believe too, because they believe the image that Chauvin choked him.<br /><br />Anyone remember the 5-6 minutes pre-video of Rodney King, where it shows Rodney resisting and hitting cops? Anyone? Anyone? Yet all most have seen was the cops doing push strikes that weren't nearly as bad as they were let out to be as Rodney refused to give up and surrender, and him not feeling pain because he was high as a kite on recreational pharmaceuticals.<br /><br />Too many 'smart' and 'intelligent' people believed the bullscat the media and the agitators tossed out and force-fed the public.<br /><br />There is and will be no true justice for Chauvin. His life, and the lives of the other cops and all their families, are effectively over no matter what. <br /><br />And too many of us played into that mob mentality.<br /><br />We all knew, from some news reports within 12 hours of the death, that Floyd died not from choke holds or beatings for bigfoot alien anal probes or whatever. We knew that Floyd died from swallowing his stash, while EMS was enroute to the location.<br /><br />And within 48 hours we found out that a year prior Floyd did the exact same thing, and yet was revived. <br /><br />We knew within seconds that the MOB around Floyd was making a controlled situation uncontrollable. <br /><br />The real blame for Floyd's death, if not Floyd himself, was the camera-toting mob that was making the officers' job that much different.<br /><br />And don't even start on the 'Chauvin had complaints against him' thing. There are two types of cops who have lots of complaints. The legitimately bad cop will have 1 or 2, maybe 3 complaints. The good cop will have multiple multiple complaints, because bad guys know that lawyers and juries hate cops with an Internal Affairs history.<br /><br />The real question should have not been how many complaints Chauvin had, but how may legitimate, sustained complaints. <br /><br />Kind of the old Mafia joke of 'How many times have you been convicted? None, but I've been arrested 30 times, har har.'Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-17633348247835781422021-03-12T12:10:02.918-06:002021-03-12T12:10:02.918-06:00Why are all those kangaroos in the court?
